Wrapping Up The First Week Of The U.S. Open
Dylan Stableford is filing occasional reports from the U.S. Open here in New York City. (Well, Queens.) Here's a missive from last night's epic James Blake-Fabrice Santoro matchup. (Trust us, it was epic.)
The Open is heading into its middle weekend with few, if any, surprises — save for Roger Federer's sartorial choices (all-black, Roger? That's so un-Swiss of you!).

Kittens or Cougars? A 2007 U.S. Open Preview
Most of our friends here in New York City aren't nearly as into sports as we are; you have no idea how difficult it is to corral an NFL Sunday crew. But the one sporting event everybody here loves, whether they care about sports or not, is the U.S. Open in Flushing Meadows.
Why? Because unlike Shea and Yankee Stadium, it matters that you are seen. This is why we usually don't go — we hate being seen, hate it — but why countless New Yorkers are willing to spend 25 bucks on a hot dog in the middle of August.
Anyway, the rest of us can look on with the same bemused attachment we reserve for the rest of tennis. So, after the jump, with a U.S. Open preview is Dylan Stableford, formerly MediaBistro.com. He insisted on the Sharapova photo.

It's Good To Have A Golf Champion Actually Look Like A Golfer
Like most casual golf fans in America, we spent most of the day yesterday away from the television but curious if Tiger Woods was going to win the U.S. Open. A victory by anyone else would elicit a shrug; a victory by Tiger would somehow matter more, as if we're enough of an expert in golf to understand what "matters." All majors, to most sports fans, involve either Tiger winning it, or "somebody else." More »

Ah, Screw Birdies
If you got points for impressive pars, it would've been Tiger Woods' day ... but the man couldn't squeeze a birdie out of his Sunday round to save his life. Angel Cabrera, who shot a very impressive 69, is your winner. Oh well. I'm sure he has a dad, too. More »

Tiger's Nipples Look Fantastic
Playing alongside Tiger in the day's final pairing, Aaron Baddeley set the tone for the day with a triple bogey. He hasn't been able to stop the bleeding since ... He started at +2, and is now at +8. More »

I Smell Tiger Tears
Today just feels like a day where Tiger Woods ends up crying. It's the US Open, it's Fathers Day, he's in the final pairing at Oakmont, and he's due to become a father soon. It feels so storybook. Thank goodness Jim Nantz isn't involved ... I don't know if I could take the sappiness. More »

Finally, We Know Why Phil Mickelson Didn't Choose Football Or Rugby As His Profession
Phil Mickelson wasn't fortunate enough to make the cut at the U.S. Open this weekend, but it's just as well. Better he escape now with his life than stay through the weekend and endure such danger. More »

Another Way To Waste Your Workday
As mentioned in the comments below, if you're stuck at work today and love the U.S. Open, you can pretty much watch the whole thing live in HD on your computer at USOpen.com. We have a Mac, which isn't always the best at playing video, but the reception on this is clear and free of burps. More »

The End For Andre Agassi
As the match was being played and it became evident that Andre Agassi didn't have the legs or the back to take down Benjamin Becker, I couldn't help but think it shouldn't end this way. It should've ended in either a championship, or in front of am unsilencable primetime crowd in a 5-set marathon that no one would be able to forget. More »
